Basilica of St. Paul

This is a Melkite Greek Catholic Church located near the Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon (see Harissa post). It only dates to the late 20th century, but is very clearly done in the Byzantine architectural style. Of particular interest here is that the mosaics seek to gather in all of the various form of the eastern church. There are Greek, Maronite, and Slavic saints portrayed in the mosaics, and they claim to have the very 1st mosaic of St. John Paul.
The 1st picture is of the building, showing the architectural style. The 2nd and 3rd pictures are of the main doors. These carvings are scenes from the life of St. Paul.
The 4th picture is the nave. If you look closely, you'll see saints from many traditions among the mosaics. The 5th picture is a small side chapel, and the last picture is the interior of the dome.もっと詳しく
